Description
2025 Topps Series Two Mason Montgomery rookie card #369. Featuring the Tampa Bay Rays pitcher, the reverse highlights his 2024 MLB debut and impressive 45.9% strikeout rate against big-league hitters. The back design includes full Major and Minor League pitching records and official MLB holographic logos.
Key Features
First flagship Topps Rookie Card for the Tampa Bay Rays prospect. Notable for mentioning his record-tying 6 consecutive strikeouts in a relief appearance against Detroit.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. Includes official Topps 2025 copyright, MLB/MLBPA licensing, and complex CMP code (CMP0102662) consistent with 2025 Series 2 production.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom centering shift on the reverse; minor edge whitening potential typically found on modern Topps paper stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot or PWE listing), COMC for high-volume sales, or local card shows in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.
Selling Tips
As a modern base card, it is generally not worth grading unless it is a perfect PSA 10 candidate and sold immediately. Use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping for $1.50 to keep the total price competitive for buyers.
